The Monk's Mindset: Finding Stillness in a World That Won't Stop Moving
The Monk’s Mindset delivers a first-of-its-kind practical approach to both mindfulness and fitness, perfect for fans of Jay Shetty and Thich Nhat Hanh.

Former Theravada Buddhist monk Sam Yo is a globally recognized Peloton instructor who seamlessly blends mindfulness, movement, and motivation to inspire people worldwide. Born in London to Thai parents, Sam was raised at the crossroads of two cultures, balancing modern city life with the deep-rooted traditions of his heritage—all while striving to find his voice and purpose in the world. In The Monk’s Mindset, Yo shares how his shift from the world of theater to the quiet halls of a Thai monastery taught him to embrace a life of simplicity, discipline, and self-discovery—and how you can do the same.

In this wise and inspiring book, Yo brings the essence of his monastic training into the modern world, guiding people to move with intention, breathe with awareness, and embrace the present moment. His unique ability to fuse Eastern philosophy with Western motivation—along with his signature blend of humor, wisdom, and pop culture references—makes his teachings both accessible and transformative.

A blueprint for finding clarity, embracing change, and cultivating inner strength in an ever-shifting world, The Monk’s Mindset is a holistic guide to the attainment of peace in both body and mind.
